Ubuntu 9.10 installer doesn't recognize the hard drive

Ubuntu 9.10 installer doesn't recognize the hard drive

I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and am trying to install it on a fairly modern system with a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 motherboard. Ubuntu 9.04 installed fine and still will when I stick that disc in, but 9.10 doesn't see my hard drive (western digital 250GB). If I boot from the disc, I can install gparted and it does recognize the drive, but when I try to start the install process from the live disc, Ubuntu again doesn't recognize the hard drive.

"I had such an issue when tried to install 9.10 on RAID-0. The thing I did: I installed terminal version of Ubuntu 9.04 from network, and upgraded it to 9.10. Also I made /boot ext3, and everything else was ext4. Seems like there's problem with the new brub2 + ext4 + some HDDs. Everything works fine: I'm writing this from 9.10 ;)

Try this hack until they release an update :)"
